“Creative Uses for Spare Corvette Parts” – Vette Magazine

 

Veteran industry writer Steve Temple visited Factory Five and photographed customer Bill F.’s beautiful twin turbo GTM for “Vette Magazine”.  Bill’s car was built by the crew at SKJ Customs in St. George, UT, and to our knowledge, it is the highest horsepower GTM ever built.
